Forecasts

Fire Flower (11/4), Senescence (11/2), Ball Rolling (11/2), Blue Moon City (6/1), Un Deux Trois (8/1), Dutchessburnedette (8/1), My Kingdom (10/1), Kayla's Dream (14/1), League Of Her Own (14/1), Hey Bennie (14/1), Sergei (14/1), Sitting Bull (28/1), Kings Cup (33/1), Burning Ice (33/1), Bartholomeus (33/1), Perfect Passion (33/1), Ancient Rome (40/1)

UN DEUX TROIS should give a good account but it's an open race. Fire Flower could be the hardest opposition, while Senescence is one to bear in mind as well.
